Aim Big: How to Build Success Momentum

Building success momentum is a great way for you to achieve goals and create the life that you’ve dreamed of.

How to Achieve Goals Once and for All

Follow these tips to help you achieve your goals and build success momentum.

• Action steps – no goal is achieved without this first important step. It is vital you get out of your head and into your heart and then into action. Without small, measurable action steps, your success remains nothing but a story. 
• Small steps and bite size pieces – it is important not to get over zealous with your goals and do not take on too many at the same time. Stick with one goal, one set of actionable and measurable goals. 
• Having an accountability partner – there’s nothing like a best friend. He or she tells you the truth even when you don’t want to hear it. Having an accountability partner is one of the best ways to keep yourself in line and in check. There’s no greater or worse feeling than having to tell somebody you did or did not do something you were supposed to. 
• Holding yourself accountable – check in with yourself every once in a while. Make certain you ask yourself the hard questions and tell yourself the truth about why you didn’t do something. Don’t make yourself wrong and allow yourself to feel what you feel and then take the necessary action step to correct it. Keep practicing.
• Taking on the possibility of being self-disciplined – Learn how to take on self-discipline. Understand it takes practice and don’t beat yourself up. Just keep practicing. The more you practice the art of self-discipline, the more easily it will come to you.
• Talk to yourself – In order to achieve success in all areas of your life, it’s important to watch your self talk and how you address yourself through inner dialogue. The better you talk to yourself, the better you’ll feel and the more prosperity you will experience in all areas of your life. Picture it this way – would you talk to your best friend the way you speak to yourself sometimes? Often times, the answer is no. Be kind to yourself in words.

Success Momentum – How to Incorporate it into Your Daily Life

Once you’ve got these skills, habits and mindsets in order, it’s time to keep up the momentum.

• The biggest mistake, when it comes to momentum, is that people start too big and fall short. Allow enthusiasm and passion to fuel your momentum rather than let all the action take responsibility for keeping up momentum. Nothing fuels momentum more than excitement.
• Incorporate momentum in your daily life so it doesn’t overwhelm you. Find something to achieve every day towards your goal that makes you feel excited. When you are excited, you create your own momentum.
• Create a plan that will allow you to begin to notice momentum building up speed. But remember, you need to reign in that momentum otherwise you might get overzealous. You may find yourself veering off into several other ideas and creative endeavors. Create a plan of action as to where that momentum will carry you so it doesn’t carry you away.
• Believe in yourself above and beyond all things. That belief in yourself is key to finding, achieving and sustaining success.
• Tune out the voices and opinions of others.

Failure is Your New Best Friend

Fear of failure is actually more damaging than failure itself. Once you get over your biggest fear and actually experience it, you will see it’s not the big elephant in the room you once though it was.

Understand the definition of failure – failure is not taking action, not taking chances and not taking risks. Failing to try is the worst thing that you can do!

The Reward System

Create a reward system that works for you:

• Keep a journal. Every time you have a success write it down. Every time you have a failure look at your journal and see exactly what you are made of and where you can change a habit.
• Whenever you reach a small goal, boast about it, whether in your journal, in your mind or with your biggest supporters.
• Tell others about your small successes along the way but don’t allow them to put you down or minimize you achievements.
• Allow yourself to treat yourself every time you achieve a goal. It doesn’t have to be big, but something that will make a connection in your brain that achieving goals reaps rewards.

The Art of Visualizing and Manifesting

• Allowing the problem to sit for a while – when you think about a problem for too long it becomes bigger and more unmanageable
• Journal the problem.
• Let go of finding a solution the quicker you let go of finding a solution it pops into your mind – did you ever look for something and can’t find it and then the minute you stop looking, you find it? Same concept.
• Pick an uplifting vibe and stick with it – get enthusiastic about how excited you are your dream will come true.
• Before you do this step, however, you must know your goal, and name it – be enthusiastic about your specific goal.
• Think about the end and not how you will get there and you will begin to manifest at the speed of light.
• Visualize daily, especially out in nature or in the shower. Notice more positive things than negative. Face your fears in small doses then let them go as you realize you survived each and every thing you were afraid of.

Meditate

• Try many different forms of meditation until you find the right one.
• Meditate at night so you reset your subconscious brain. Let the meditation play as you fall asleep. Your subconscious will pick it up.
• Too many people try to meditate in the morning, but their busy bee minds are already on the go and it’s not as effective.
• Stop holding your breath – check in with your breath throughout the day, notice how tight your stomach is – let your stomach relax.
• The center of the body is the stomach – it’s your gut and your gut doesn’t let you down – how are you taking care of your gut? Are you eating right, hydrating, relaxing, working hard and then taking a break? Are you checking in with your intuition to feel your way through and getting out of your head?
• When it comes to meditation, get out of your head …practice present moment techniques, journal it and burn it if you choose to do this and practice, practice, practice.

Create Success Habits

• No setting unachievable goals
• Small steps/one new habit at a time until that one is in place
• Celebrate success both personally and with others.
• Take a look at habits and what hasn’t worked so you can figure out a new strategy for what does.
• Write your strategy down and carry it with you – use an app if necessary. Technology works wonders toward achieving goals.
• Make a decision, if it doesn’t work simply make a new one – don’t beat yourself up.
• Always be in action and in momentum don’t sit in analyzing for too long. Keep moving.
• Delegate.
• Learn how to say no.
• Kick procrastination to the curb. Reward yourself for every goal achieved no matter how small, especially for the small ones.
• Write it all down, put it away and revisit it – you’d be surprised at how much you achieved.
• Write it all down and the steps you will take to achieve each new habit.

It’s called learning to think and aim big for a reason. If you already knew how to put all these practices into place, then you wouldn’t need any training. You most certainly can retrain your brain. It just takes practice.
